“Many, many people here at Visceral have a warm spot in their heart for Dead Space, and right now we’re busy with Hardline and…other things,” Visceral Games General Manager Steve Papoutsis told Games TM, “but it’s definitely something we’d love to look at again.”

“There’s definitely a lot of interest internally for us to pick that up again at a future date.”

Visceral Games developed all three games in the Dead Space series. IGN reviewed Dead Space 3 and thought it was good, despite some glaring issues. The game failed to meet publisher EA’s sales expectations in 2013. Back at E3 in 2013, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau told IGN that “there’s no reason to believe” EA wouldn’t revisit Dead Space.

In related news, Battlefield Hardline has gone gold on all platforms and regions and will feature easter eggs from the Dead Space series. The cops versus criminals shooter is slated to launch March 17 in North America and March 19 in Europe on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC.
